Is the skip hop duo big enough?

Temp123197812503460 · January 2012

I like the new Adler prints but they don't come in the duo double size. Will I regret not having the bigger bag or is the duo enough? (we use cloth diapers so they take a bit more space)Thx!

I have the duo (not the double) and it's plenty big for me. Although I don't CD, I do carry at least 2 change of outfit in them, plus toys, plus bibs, plus diapering stuff with plenty of room to spare.

it all depends... every woman is different with purses and diaper bags... I prefer a really big bag. It wouldn't be big enough for me. I had the duo delux and loved it.... if it was smaller it wouldn't have worked for ME but plenty of moms would be fine with it.

Ditto ^ Orange, I love that diaper bag. I have room for everything and love the stroller clips already attached to the bag. I normally clip the bag onto shopping carts too.

Yes. We CD too. I use a bigger changing pad - the skiphop one sold separately - and keep that in the middle and its still plenty big. Sometimes if we'll be out all day (like at a relative's house) I'll carry my wetbag/diaper separately, but that's a special case.

We CD also and I have the Skip Hop Duo Double Deluxe. I tend to over-pack with diapers and wipes because I would rather have too many than to few obviously. I don't think we could use a smaller bag with the CDs, cloth wipes, wet bag, extra outfits, etc.

Thanks everyone! Super helpful to hear different points of view.

I had the skip hop duo bag in the nice greens, blues, blacks stripes (I forget now what patten it was but it was vertical stripes...super cute!) and when we started CDing I felt it was not near big enough for 6 cd's, a change of clothes, wipes, wetbag and whatever else I needed to take with me. I think I only used it a couple of times and then started using an open 31 bag instead. I'm sure it would have bee just fine if I was only CDing one bambino, but with two....it was a no go. Sad times, because I though the SHD bag was cute, but they didn't carry the double deluxe in that pattern...it only came in the orange/red/brown colors of that pattern. SO...I personally think you'll want more room than that bag offers. GL!

OMG! I never thought about clipping it to the shopping cart! All this time, it's been taking up valuable space in the basket (as if the twins don't take up enough room!). Wow, thanks for the tip!

Also, I don't think the duo would be big enough for me, but I have a ton of stuff in my double. I definately fall into the "overpacker" category. I don't ever want to not have something I need.

The one time I tried using a smaller bag, just to run in the store (my husband's "great" idea), I realized I forgot my wallet in the bigger bag that was in the car. Of course, I didn't realize it until I was checking out! So...I had to leave the cart, carry both babies to an empty cart, go out to the car, and then back in an even longer line, with screaming babies who were not happy about being put back into the cart! Okay, off the subject, I'm just still aggervated...and they charged me for something I didn't buy! Ahhhh!

To sum it up, I loved my old bag, but felt I needed the double for the twins (plus one older child). I'm glad I have it, but it sure is pretty freakin' heavy!
